Saw Wet Wet (almost) Wet last night at the glasshouse in Newcastle. It was a surprisingly great show (Almost 3 Wets as Marti Pellow is no longer with the band) . #newcastle #glasshouse

Palm House at Kew Gardens catching late afternoon sun from behind.

A wide shot of a grand, multi-sectioned glass and metal conservatory, likely a greenhouse, under a cloudy sky. The building dominates the upper half of the image, featuring a large, prominent central dome and long, arched sections extending to either side. Sunlight reflects brightly off the glass panes of the central dome. In the foreground, a wide pond or lake stretches across the bottom of the image, reflecting the sky and parts of the building. Between the water and the conservatory, a paved walkway is visible, lined with lush flowerbeds and potted plants, where several people are seen strolling or standing. Trees are visible in the background on either side of the conservatory.

Here's an excellent video from Architectural Digest about the Geoponika greenhouse, a "plant orphanage" in LA of old plant collections. The plants are cared for by landscape designer Carlos Campos Morera. Among the collection is a female Welwitschia (an ancient Namibian gymnosperm) which is grown in stacked old sewer pipes to allow it to grow a deep tap root to a deep desert water table.

LA Times: He crossed the border for a better life. He returned to Mexico in a casket

"Jaime Alanis García, a 56-year-old Mexican farmworker, died after falling while fleeing immigration agents during a workplace raid in California.
Mourned by hundreds in his hometown of Huajúmbaro de Guadalupe, his death has intensified fear and anger across migrant-sending communities in Mexico."

I contend that Philip Johnson's twee Glass House is the story of the emperor's new clothes rendered as architecture, or possibly that it's the box his ego came in.
